Program Tracks

Leveraging AI, including generative AI, as an engine for business growth and high performance is the name of the game today, and the race is on. This track will explore how to win this race by keeping you laser-focused on strategy, prioritizing use cases, identifying enabling technologies, ensuring responsible AI, and building a winning team of internal and external talent. You must also build trust, continuously adapt to an evolving AI regulatory framework, and look beyond the horizon for rapidly emerging advances.

All AI and analytics run on data. Data is the foundation of AI. This track highlights how to ensure that your organization delivers high performance through a solid foundation of consistent, trusted, accessible data by applying best practices around data architecture, data management, and data governance. It also focuses on how to scale for AI across the enterprise as well as implement modern analytical and business intelligence approaches to deliver faster, better insights that make your company more adaptive and successful.

Your ability to achieve high performance depends on people — individuals, teams, and leaders. In the age of AI, how you lead, build skills, and invite workers to join you on the journey will be more important than ever in building trust, gaining the necessary alignment with your business, and creating a highly adaptive organization. This track will help IT leaders guide their workforce to use emerging technology with confidence, bolstered by trusted leadership who give them the skills and resources to succeed.

Your customers and employees expect excellent experiences that deliver high performance. But connecting disparate systems and processes isn’t easy; in addition to the technology, you need high levels of trust and alignment to be successful. This track digs into new digital experiences and the enabling technologies to support this transformation and deliver superior resilience, because after all, technology powers your business and operations runs it.

Business applications and application development are critical to creating new experiences for employees and customers and driving business results. This track will show you how to maximize your application investments to increase adaptivity, trust, and, ultimately, ROI for the business. Further, we will help you ensure that your application development, powered with automation and AI, translates to better decision-making and competitive advantage.

Technology can unlock new possibilities for organizations. Critical for success is a clear technology strategy and architecture tightly aligned with the business strategy to drive high performance. This track will show how to craft IT strategy and architecture with the proper communication and governance to strengthen trust and secure commitment from your key stakeholders.
